AUBURN -- Bullock Creek's boys' soccer team battled to the final whistle on Friday, but came out on the short end of a 3-0 decision at Bay City Western. The loss drops the Lancers to 4-3-1 on the season.

"We worked hard right up until the final whistle," Bullock Creek coach Bob Linton said. "I think this was a good game for us. They are a faster, quicker, more physical team and we hadn't seen that."

The teams played pretty even until the Warriors struck for two quick goals in the later stages of the first half. Western, which held a 12-1 shot advantage, would add a third goal in the second half.

"I think we wore down a little bit," Linton said. "A lot of those shots came in the second half."

Caleb Zastrow made nine saves in goal for the Lancers, who host Freeland at 6 p.m. Monday.
